Math Library

The C++ math library is actually C’s math library. It is easy to use and is accessed by including cmath.

#include <cmath>

Square Root

The function sqrt is used to compute the square root of a number. It takes only one argument, the number, whose square root needs to be calculated.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int val = 10;
cout << sqrt(val) << endl;
// prints 3.16228
return 0;
}

Powers

The function pow is used to​ calculate the power of a number in C++. It takes as its first argument the number itself and the value to which it needs to be raised is the second argument.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int val = 5;
// we use the pow function to compute the powers of the integer values given
cout << pow(val, 2) << endl;
// prints 25
cout << pow(val, 3) << endl;
// prints 125
cout << pow(val, 0.5) << endl;
// prints 2.23607
return 0;
}

Trigonometry

To perform trigonometric operations, the cmath library provides the functions sin​, cos and tan. Each of the three takes​ only one argument, the number, on which these operations need to be applied.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
float val = 5.7;

// here the sin, cos and tan functions are being used to compute the trignometric values
cout << sin(val) << endl;
// prints -0.550686
cout << cos(val) << endl;
// prints 0.834713
cout << tan(val) << endl;
// prints -0.659731
return 0;
}

Note: Trigonometric functions in cmath use RADIANS.

Try the following example in the editor below.

You are given two float variables A and B, perform the operations defined in comments in the editor below.
